Eagles fire VP of communications, that should fix it

Apparently Juan Castillo couldn’t be fired again, so they dispatched senior vice president of communications Rob Zeiger Tuesday, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. His name was already removed from the team’s website Tuesday night.

Zeiger was the liason between owner Jeff Lurie, the front office and the media, the guy left to explain things to the public.

Neither the team nor Zeiger commented on the decision.

In many places, PR directors are long-term fixtures, but not in Philadelphia. Zeiger had just started in May 2011, and they had gone through three others in 10 years.

Call it a hunch, but we’re guessing he’s not the last high-level Eagles employee to leave before the start of next season.

Wow…right before the holidays! I’m not an Eagles fan, but I’m disappointed in what seems like a classless move by a typically classy organization.

I wouldn’t want to explain the trainwreck the last 2 years have been either.

Stop drafting like you are smarter than everyone else and maybe your top draft picks will start contributing. No more undersized guys with a high motor. No more overage 1st round picks because you want someone more mature.

No more wide nine. No more howard mudd.

Philly fans & the media will not stop until Andy is gone. The offensive line is terrible & the talent level on the defensive side is not good enough to compensate. No coach would win with the teams current makeup.

Removing pr guy was just pr move because city is ripping them apart and actually begging flyers to come back from a stupid lockout plus stealing any attention phillies might get.

He fumbled and bumbled his way through the handling the controversy about the Eagles pumping the music up real loud two weeks ago. It was another embarrassment in a long line of them for this year’s team.

I thought Dave Spadaro was the PR man, based upon what comes out of his mouth. Fire him next!

Anybody need tix for the next 3 games? Cheap!!! It is apparent that the team has lost The City and the Suburbs and Southern NJ. Caring is futile until a significant change….at the top……is made. Remember Jerry Wohlman? This is the mantra of Philly Fans…..Deliver, or Leave.
